The sum of two opposite interior angles of a triangle is equal to the opposite exterior angle of a triangle

Therefore,

( 5x - 101 )° + ( x + 36 )° = ( 9x - 164 )°

5x + x - 106 + 36 = 9x - 164

6x - 65 = 9x - 164

6x - 9x = - 164 + 65

- 3x / - 3 = - 99 / - 3

x = 33

The first interior angle

= ( 5x - 101 )°

= ( 5 ( 33 ) - 101 ) °

= ( 165 - 101 )°

= 64°

The second interior angle

= ( x + 36 )°

= ( 33 + 36 )°

= 69°

The exterior angle

= ( 9x - 164 )°

= ( 9 ( 33 ) - 164 )°

= ( 297 - 164 )°

= 133°

(x+36)+(5x-101)=9x-164(being two interior angles is equal to opposite exterior angle)now, x+36+5x-101=9x-164 6x-65=9x-164. 6x-9x=-164+65. -3x=-99 x=33. Again,putting the value of x in unknown angles we get, (x+36)=33+36=69. (5x-101)=5X33-101=165-101=64. (9x-164)=9X33-164=297-164=133.
